Someone posting on Troll and Toad facebook today said the newer game had flimsy pieces already starting to warp. I've not had that problem with my older set. Anyone with the new game set want to verify this as I might consider buying this as, though I don't need it for myself, I had considered this as a gift for others this year but don't want to buy something where the pieces are shoddy.

No. Betrayal at House on the Hill is a constructable board-game where you explore a rather large house with multiple storys, laying down rooms as you go. At some point the players set off a series of events which results in one player becoming the Traitor and the others seeking to stop him. The goal of the game (and the theme) changes from game to game based on what sets off the traitor. Sometimes its zombies, sometimes its spiders, sometimes its the house getting sucked into hell. You rarely play through the same script more than once. Its an excellent game, I highly recommend it. That is, assuming the component quality isn't too shoddy. The first game tiles have held up pretty well in my old set, but apparently the newer tiles have a tendency to warp, which does not speak well of the quality.

I picked up a copy yesterday and started popping the pieces out of the container - I didn't notice any difference in material/durability between them and the old pieces. But I'll keep an eye on them and see if any signs of warping or other problems show up, and try and post back here with whatever I learn...

Yea I finally broke this out to play at game night, after buying it a month ago, and the pieces were really badly warped. They weren't unusable, but it was pretty bad. The room tiles couldnt actually stack in a pile, it would just fall over, and they none of them would lay flat on the table anymore.
The game on the other hand is a lot of fun. Everyone really enjoyed it, and it was a fairly diverse group of people playing it.
